With Google's help, I tracked down a Powerpoint presentation that says  
that the 7905 is 192x64 pixels, and the 7960 is 23x9 characters.   
Assuming an 8x8 character matrix, the 7905 should be 24x8.  I'm not  
sure how you can call that "even higher resolution" then the 7960  
(http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php? 
page=Asterisk%20phone%20cisco%2079xx).  Maybe the 7905's layout is more  
compact?

At this point, I think I've pretty much exhausted what Google and  
Cisco.com have to say on the topic.
